This thread is great, i have been given a bag of limes.

Can you freeze them whole?

I love lemon impossible pie, so will try with lime. Going to do chookies ricotta cake but with lime.

I love limes, they are so expensive, so very happy to get them.

They were picked a few days ago, so still nice and fresh.

When I have excess I freeze the juice in ice cube trays.

 :D I still have lime juice in the freezer.

I have a bush lemon tree now that is loaded. I park next to it every day.
So i should have lemons in a couple of weeks.

There is a company in Western Australia selling 310g jars of preserved limes for A$13.50  :o  If you have a lemon or lime tree you're sitting on a gold mine.

I make up big jars of preserved lemons and limes (use the really big coffee jars) and it lasts ages. No way I would buy them at that price. They're so simple to do as well and so many people either have lemons/limes or know someone who does. Give it a go if you've never tried before!

Just tasted some Lemon, lime and chilli jam.  Very mild with the chilli.  I think they may have used just the lime juice.    Will make some and let you know how it goes.

My lime tree has finally given us a crop this year. I'm pretty sure we have the Tahitian variety. So far I have used the lime juice to make a Fijian kokoda as well as in Tenina's Vietnamese shredded chicken salad, not to mention adding some lime juice to flavour jugs of sparkling  mineral water on hot days. All the other ideas on this topic sound great though.

Caprioska - 2 limes quartered and muddled in  cocktail shaker add ice 30ml sugar syrup and 60ml vodka (Russian Standard is quite nice) Shake and pour into a glass. You can top it up with a bit of soda water if you like.

One or two of these every night, that's what the doctor ordered.  ;D
